Kayaks

[Jade]

Does anyone else have experience with using one to get into remote locations with?

I've a preference for the touring kayaks, and prefer the composite ones to the natural material ones. I've been into some very desolate places on the B.C. coastline thanks to such a vessel. I find the touring kayaks far more stable than the traditional ones.

I have not gone to any really remote locations, but there are small islands, I've been to on mine. Close to shore, and nothing fancy. Some where so overgrown I could not find a way onto them.

My so just did a circumnavigation of the chesapeake bay in a sit on top manta ocean kayak. It isnt as sleek as the sit in sides but more versatile and you can carry more water and other supplies, plus have a lot of it on your deck. I joined him for the last two weeks of the tour and I was in an ocean kayak trident 13. I love my sit on tops and ocean kayak makes great ones.

My only experience with kayaks was humiliating: I couldn't balance while seated in one, no matter what I did.

And I couldn't right myself again, either. If I wasn't upside down and swimming out of the thing, I was on my side listening to my buddy choke on his laughter.
